I am generally too fast in nature. I walk very fast, I always did tests quickly. Everything is fast and it didn't really show me the issue until -- DD is super fast. She wants to do everything fast and she has the ability to do things easily and quickly but it is very hard for her to be a tortoise and being a tortoise has so many benefits.
She is turning 5 tomorrow, so I hesistate to put DD4. She has been taking piano for nearly a year and when she has learned the pieces -- memorizing, she likes to play them quickly. We are now going through timing, teaching her fractions as she has a piece now with 3/8 timing with 1/32nd notes. And it is such a struggle to get her to slow down and learn to do it correctly. It was a mistake with the last piano teacher who just wanted to see what she could play. So I am struggling with teaching her to be a tortoise and realizing what a valuable lesson it is.
A bit rambling here, but we had her party yesterday - 23 kids and 20 adults and I am tired.
